Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind) Lyrics
Oh... Oh...
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Verse 1]
You've got these little things that you've been running from
You either love it or I guess you don't
You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone
A vision with nowhere to go
So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go! We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live
[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Verse 2]
You've got these little things; you wanted something for 'em
You'll either get it or I guess you won't
What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone?
There's a million ways it could go
So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?
I wanna know why you got me going
So let's go! We'll take it outta here
I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
[Bridge]
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know I'm ready, I know
I think I'm ready, I think
I know
[Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind
I'm ready to go
(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
A pocket full of fancy words, a pocket full of fancy words...
